Violent unrest in Iraq over the past several weeks have claimed more than 100 lives and left thousands wounded. With a devastated economy, even 16 years after its “liberation” by the US, and with corruption rampant, it’s little surprise that people are taking to the streets. But are there other factors involved in this unrest? Is the US trying to overthrow its “ally” in Baghdad?
